Spanish term or phrase: repetir en contra
Sevices contract between two parties. I think this simply means that Y has the right not to rehire faulty subcontractors but I´d just like to check that I´m not missing something here. TIA, Jason.

X responderá directamente ante Y por las omisiones o mala calidad de los servicios otorgados conforme al presente Contrato y a su respectivo Anexo I, sin perjuicio de que, en su caso, Y pueda o no **repetir en contra** de los subcontratistas que hayan omitido o prestado en forma indebida el Servicio.

agree  AllegroTrans: yes, it's about a "right to recover" (contractually) - filing a cliam would only be the next stage if the party liable refused to pay up
